Game By Game: Week 2

By Ryan Schoon

Wow...week 1 was a crazy week!  What will week 2 bring?  Looks like more of the same looking at these games!  Let's get right into the games and see what we got!

KC at DET | BAL at TEN | CLE at IND | OAK at BUF | TB at MIN | CHI at NO | JAX at NYJ | SEA at PIT
ARI at WAS | GB at CAR | DAL at SF | SD at NE | CIN at DEN | HOU at MIA| PHI at ATL | STL at NYG

Summary: Lions to 2-0!  Can you even believe it?  Lions looked pretty damn good last week...they're coming along nicely.  KC on the other hand looked like complete CRAP!  Where was Cassel?  Charles?  Bowe?  Good lord they all laid an egg.  Look for a little better week from KC but not enough to hang with Safford to Johnson.  Best even chips in a TD run.

Summary:  Wow...the Ravens made a statement last week against the Steelers...and I don't see much changing this week.  Ray Rice is a beast and you see why the Ravens let Heap go...Dickson and Pitta are as solid as they come.  Look for a little more Lee Evans this week.  It'll take another week for Chris Johnson to get in "football" shape so he'll suck...especially against this defense.  I do like Hasselbeck to Britt but that's about it.

Summary:  LMAO!  This could be interesting...or maybe not?  Probably the two worst teams in the NFL after week one square off.  The Colts are really that bad without Manning.  I do like Hillis for big game against the Colts crap ass defense.  Wayne should get the targets and yards for Indy.

Summary:  Buffalo should be able to handle Campbell and company.  Fitzpatrick was impressive week 1 and I like more of the same.  Steve Johnson is special and someone you need in your line-up each week no matter the match-up.  Fred Jackson might be the most underrated running back in the NFL.  Run DMC should be over 100 for you and that's about it for the Raiders.  Bills win at home easily.

Summary:  Toss up?  I mean where was Blount last week?  Freeman?  Was the Lions defense that much improved?  McNabb sucked up the place as well in week one.  AP couldn't even put up 100 yards rushing after making all that money?  C'mon man!!  I like the Vikings at home but only because they're at home.  Ugly game....

Summary:  Saints 0-2?  Stranger things have happened...like the Bears going 2-0!  Wow, what can I say?  I'm impressed with that Bears defense.  If Cutler doesn't do anything stupid they should pull this out.  Forte is tough to stop running but even more so in the receiving game.  Brees will throw for a ton to a bunch of receivers but Colston is out at least 6 weeks and that hurts.  So does not having a running game.......

Summary:  Yeah, I don't see the Jags standing a chance in this one.  McCown for a a couple picks and MJD will be bottled up by this Jets D.  Look for domination by the Jets at home with Sanchez, Plax and Holmes.  OH, and Shonn Greene sucks.  Lt looked way better than him last week....same M.O. great pre-season suck in the regular season for Greene.

Summary:  I'd hate to be Seattle this week...especially going to Pittsburgh.  The Steelers coming off a complete ass kicking will be looking to right the ship and dish out some punishment.  The Steelers should just crush Tarvaris Jackson and the Seahawks.  I think giving Seattle 10 points is a gift.

27

Summary:  This could be quite a game....and a shootout!  Kolb and Grossman were impressive week one and I like both to air it out this week.  I like the talent level on the Cardinals better than the Redskins so I'm taking Arizona by 3.  Still, good fantasy scoring in this one to be had by all!

 Summary:  Well...I think it's safe to say that Cam won't throw for 4 TD's on the Packers D.  I like Cam for 2 TD's and 2 picks and a little rougher outing.  I like Rodgers for another big game and I definitely like Starks better than Grant.  I'd like to see Carolina run the ball a little more to Williams and Stewart.

 Summary:  I think Dallas is another team looking to make amends for what should have been a win against the Jets.  I'm pretty sure Ted Gin will be planned for an the Niners will have to score without him running back kick returns and punts....which means they won't be able to.  I like Romo and the boys to win easily.

 Summary:   Game of the week!  Loving this match-up and the fantasy points that will be generated.  Brady and Rivers will throw all over the place.  Now, Brady won't have 500 yards but still a very good game for you.  Rivers the same, a very good game.  Rivers to VJack had better happen this week or I'm going to send a very sternly worded letter to Rivers.  Pats should win at home in a great game.  Tryouts will be held Tuesday to replace Nate Kaeding (torn ACL).   (I didn't have room....but Hernandez gets 50 yards and a TD pass from Brady)

17

 Summary:  I actually like the Bengals.  Benson should find plenty of room against this defense.  I think Dalton will play and he should find Gresham for a score.  Orton and the Broncos just don't look like a team that's together just yet and until they do they'll get beat.

17

 Summary:  I like Houston to keep the winning ways going but I must say Henne, Bush and Marshall all looked pretty good Monday night against the Pats.  They were just out gunned with Brady and much the same here with Schaub and Andre Johnson.  I also like Tate and Ward (Tate more than Ward so pick up Tate off the WW) as I would bet Foster will miss at least one more week. 

31

24

 Summary:  Falcons start 0-2.  Never thought I'd say that.  Matt Ryan and the boys got dominated by the Bears and now Philly's "Dream Team" is in town.  I don't think Atlanta has an answer for Vick or McCoy.  Look for a good game and improvement from Atlanta but I don't think they win.  Roddy White said he'll make up for his poor showing in week one for his fantasy owners...at least that's something right?  hahahahahaha!

 Summary:  Wow...the Rams were CRUSHED with injuries week one.  Steven Jackson is out for this one already and Danny Amendola is out the rest of the season with a dislocated elbow and to top it all off Bradford has nerve damage in his finger on his throwing hand.  If the Giants can't beat a team that lost 2 of their top playmakers it's going to be a VERY long season for the G-men.
